Not every one is that enamored with working with tiny seed beads. But we have to admire those who do. One outstanding artisan is Terri Richards who has an Etsy store called Terri Faye Jewelry. She created this lovely blue beaded bracelet so one lucky winner of this giveaway will get to wear it!

Shown below are my favorites from her Etsy store including her sold section - a marvelous collection of not just gorgeous designs but beautifully photographed ones too.

Terri's passion is to create beautiful and wearable works of art. She got her start early on. She said, "I believe art and creativity to be in my genetic make-up, given to me from my Mother’s love of Oil Painting and her other amazing talents, such as, glass etching, tile mosaics and fiber flowers, all the way back to my Great Grandmother’s beautiful handmade quilts and exquisite hand embroidery."

Well, she does express her genes incredibly well. Her designs have made it to a number of competition finals such as those organized by Fire Mountain Gems as well as had some designs published!

As you can see, she signs her work too!
